It all depends. Pine Trees, especially the Slash Pine in Florida are very sensitive to changes in the ground around them. You see many old pines left on land where new houses/ buildings are added. They seem fine for years, and then comes the decline. They are expensive and difficult to take down because they are so tall.

I would not use heavy machinery within 25-30' of a pine. Once, probably wouldn't cause a problem...but nothing repeated... Hand trenching is different. You wouldn't disrupt the root structure as much that way. I would say 3-5' from the trunk would be safe.
